“Try This”, the first release from TomCattt off his new album “Cattt Man Do”, seeks that final confrontation necessary to overcome and free oneself of unreciprocated love.  A divergence in style from the past, “Try This” blends driving bass laced with smooth guitar licks, keys and horns that sets the stage for a nasty jazzy vibe.

Lyrics:

All you’ve got is time on your hands babe, you know that’s right.
Try to ride this one out lady, that could be so right.
Plan to take some time off just to rest your bones.
Know that I’ll be waiting for ya, when you get home.  

Cause I feel it’s so real.
And I know, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no no.

But you’ve been gone for just so long.
Woe babe I’m not so strong.
Can’t love a memory no more.
Be so kind and shut the door.
Tell me right to my face.
Help me get out of this place.

Don’t you feel our loss girl, don’t you feel the pain.
Held on for too long babe, that’s border line insane.
There’s no reason to reason.
There’s no telling more lies.
Knowing there’s no answer.
Helps me realize. 
 
Tell me how much you don’t care. Look the other way.
Find another reason. Try not to stay.

Don’t you feel our loss girl, don’t you feel the pain.
Held on for too long babe, that’s borderline insane.
Not looking for a quick fix, not looking to share.
Don’t bother asking, I can hardly bear.

Lyrics:

Well I said it before and I'll say it again.
Love is hard to find.
Blessed are those, blessed are those, who know, know of love.
A light it's shining on you.
So, let that light shine, let that light shine, all of the time.
Love, love her love.

Life long friend of mine.
See it in your eyes, this lady she's right for you.
Today there's love again, feel it's right for him.
Don't you feel it too.
Oh this lady she's so fine, wish that she were mine.
Hey you're a lucky man.

Destiny accompanies true, true love.
So love your lady, love your lady.
Good friend, good friend, friend of mine.
Love her till the end, till the end, of time.
Love her till the end of time.
And let your love shine, let your love shine.
All of the time.
Cause you have true love.

Lucky man, lucky man, lucky, lucky man.
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky man lucky man.

Artist Commentary:

Whether you are without a significant other, dissatisfied with your current love or recovering from a lost love, many of us dream about a "New Love".

Lyrics:

Walking down the road just the other day.  
This cute little lady she was looking my way.
Kinda got this feeling she was wanting to say. 
Something to me as she drifted my way. 
Was it my imagination or was it self-gratification.  
I just gotta know cause I'm feeling so low.  
Ever since you left me I've been move-in to slow.
Time to find a new love, time to rise above. 
These hurtful kinda feelings that keep dragging me down.  
Hurtful kinda feelings that keep dragging me down.
Hurtful kinda feelings, hurtful kinda feelings, dragging me down.

Oh, yes it's time for a new love. Oh, yes it's time for some love.
I said it's time for a new love. I said it's time for love.
Oh, yes it's time for a new love. Oh, yes it's time for your love.

Waiting for your loves like eternity.
I just don't think it's going to return to me.
Even though you asked me to wait for you.
I just don't think that it will every come true. 
Was it my imagination or was it self-gratification.   
I just gotta know cause I'm feeling so low.  
Ever since you left me I've been move-in to slow. 
Time to find a new love, time to rise above. 
These hurtful kinda feelings that keep dragging me down. 
Hurtful kinda feelings that keep dragging me down.
Hurtful kinda feelings, hurtful kinda feelings, dragging me down.

Oh, yes it's time for a new love. Oh, yes it's time for some love.
I said it's time girl, don't you realize. 
That I, I need a new love. 
Babe there's no denying I, I said it's time woo for your love.
I said it's time, don't you realize. That I, I need a new love. 
Babe there's no denying I, I said it's time woo for your love.

Lyrics:

A little advice for ya baby, so listen-up.
The man wouldn’t compromise and refused to realize; that helped you rationalize the way he treated you.   
So, now you’re free.  Free to love again. 
He showed you no respect and treated you like his pet, that helped you to forget the pain he put you through.  
So, now you know, stay away from that man.  

Cause he’s a bad man and a sad man who's to blame.  I’ll say it again.
He’s a bad man and that bad man’s quite insane.  A-just one more time.
He’s a bad man and that bad man’s gone insane.

Cause he wouldn’t sympathize; just wants to victimize, so glad you realized before it was too late.
Now you're free, free to love again.  But, just remember.  

He showed you no respect and treated you like his pet; that helped you to forget the pain he put you through.  
So, now you know stay away from that man that’s right. 

Cause he’s a bad man (I know you know) and that bad man’s gone insane (he’s not quite right not quite right). I’ll say it again (not quite right). 
He’s just a bad man (you know you have to) and that bad man’s quite insane (let him go). 
A just one more time (let him go let him go).
He’s a bad man (you understand he’s) and that bad man’s gone insane (not quite right, not quite right, not quite right).

The man is mad, and he’s bad and he will hurt you if he can.  
You know he’s a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad man. 
That’s right.

Artist Comments:

I am beside myself with joy to honour the memory of my high school bestie Dan Wayne Dunlop (October 4, 1957 – November 17, 2012), by re-recording, producing and publishing his original song "Young Love".  Dan and I first met in junior high school and became the best of friends in high school.  We were bad, had tons of fun and jammed together often for many years.  Known by many names, Dan, Big Mouth or the Baron of Barrie, he loved the Barrie, Ontario community and its people. He felt at home in Barrie and even recorded a song, an ode to his adopted City of Barrie.  Dan, as an entertainer extraordinaire, was best known for hosting the comedy skit-based TV show "Big Mouth" winning a Rogers Television Award in 2005 as best on-air personality.  Dan, AKA "FastManDan," wrote "Young Love" in the late 1970s. He recorded it on a cassette player using a drum machine, his guitar, and, of course, his vocals. My AI attempt to revive the recording from my cassette copy didn't work out, so I decided to re-record the song. The great thing is I couldn't be more pleased with the results, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!  In many ways, Dan was my mentor.  I admired and took inspiration from his independent nature, courage, talent and outstanding determination.  A born comedian and later a cartoonist, singer, songwriter, guitarist, Impressionist, puppeteer, exotic pet handler, film producer, radio talk show host, cameraman and film editor,  Dan was one dynamite entertainer and a hilarious prankster!  Just as important was his good nature and big heart.  Dan truly cared about the well-being of others and was not afraid to show you that side of himself.  Dan influenced and affected many people's lives, and all are grateful to have known this man. I miss him very much and crack a smile whenever I think of the good times we had together.  As much as a man can love a man, I loved Dan – rest in peace, my great friend and brother!  Wow, is it not the coolest thing knowing that your spirit has a voice through this great tune of yours?

The Song: 

 "Young Love", with its catchy pop/dreamy groove, delves into that classic middle-age crisis that fosters a man's conflicting desire for younger women.

Hurtful kinda feelings that keep dragging me down.
Hurtful kinda feelings, hurtful kinda feelings, dragging me down.

Oh, yes it's time, Oh, yes it's time.
For a new love, for a new love.
Oh, yes it's time. I said it's time for some love.
I said it's time for a new love.
I said it's time, time, time for love.
Oh, yes it's time for a new love.
Oh, yes it's time, time, time for your love.

About this track:

There are times when we convince ourselves that we are happy in love, yet deep down inside a growing uneasiness tells you otherwise.  Facing this undeniable truth takes courage, for it forces you follow your hearts desire knowing that there will be hurtful consequences. If you do nothing, then you live a lie accompanied by the shame of your own hurtful behaviour fuelled by denial, cowardice and regret.  For peace of mind, love yourself first and always surrender to truth.  Take comfort in knowing that you cannot hurt the other anymore than you already have; hope they're not without love each and every day and may time heal both wounded souls.

TomCattt

Lyrics:

I should have seen it come-in I've gone and hurt the one I love.
There's no question who's to blame.  
The darkness from within, it's such and empty, empty space.
Full of pain and shame and blame. 
So, why did I let you down.  
I don't know me anymore, know me anymore do you.

Hope your not without love, each and every day. 
You've got to find some way. 
To find that fading light and make it shine once more.
It's got to be that way. So, why did I make you cry.
I don't know me anymore, know me anymore do you. 
So, why did I make you cry.  
I don't know me any more, know me any more do you.  

So, I cry and I lie to myself every day. 
So, I cry and I lie to myself every day.
I've gotta, stop the lies and realize the hurt I've caused you. 
I've gotta, stop the lies and realize the hurt I've caused you.
I've gotta, stop the lies and realize. 
Stop the lie-in start realize-in, stop the lies and realize.
Stop the lie-in start realize-in the hurt I've caused you.

Hope your not without love, each and every day. 
You've got to find some way. 
To find that fading light and make it shine once more,
It's got to be that way. So, why did I make you cry. 
I don't know me anymore, know me anymore do you. 
So, why did I make you cry. I don't know me anymore.
Know me anymore do you.

Beautiful is your gift of time and the selfless love you bring to our family.

TomCattt

Lyrics:

Beautiful lady, sent from above.  
Beautiful lady, were so in love with you - with you.  
When your there we know you care.  
When your there there's no despair.
And when your there you fill the air with love.

Beautiful lady, sent from above.  
Beautiful lady, were so in love with you - with you.  
Because we know you give your time. 
Because we know your real kind. 
Because we know he feels so fine with you.

The end of her life was such a horrible time.
But the one wish you had is that he will find.  
Another to stand beside him.
And share your, light will shine like a beacon in time.
In the hearts and the minds of the people you left behind.  
But, they won't mind, cause-a-she's, yes-a-she's so fine.

Beautiful lady, sent from above.  
Beautiful lady, were so in love with you - with you.  
When your there we know you care.  
When your there there's no despair. 
And when your there you fill the air with love.

The end of her life was such a horrible time.
But the one wish you had is that he will find.

And share your, light will shine like a beacon in time.
In the hearts and the minds of the people you left behind.  
But, they won't mind, cause-a-she's, yes-a-she's so fine.  
Your my pa and your my ma and I'll always be in awe of the love.
Yes the love, you shared with us.

Artist Comment: "Loving two inevitably gives rise to a choice that devastates one and fulfills the dreams of the other".

TomCattt

Lyrics:

I have no weapons to fight him, can't you see it's killing me.
I know it's hard for you, it's even harder for me.
And I keep looking for the answer.
It still eludes me.

Cause she's got no time left for talk-in.
And there's no time left for cry-in.
And there's no time left for love-in.
Cause there was no love, no love, no love at all hiiyaa

When the queen of swords gets angry, you best run and hide.
Cause she's not in the mood for talk-in.
And she's not in the mood for you.
She will find some way to hurt you, no matter what you do.

Cause she's got no time left for talk-in.
She's got no time left for cry-in.
She's got no time left for love-in.
Cause she's got no love, no love, no love at all hiiyaa.

A wind of change has come, it rushes over me.
It blew away my fears, now there's no more tears.
And your heart grew so quickly, that all I gotta say.

Is we've got all kinds of time for talk-in.
We've got all kinds of time for cry-in.
We've got all kinds of time for love-in.
Cause she's got love, love, love for me - hiiyaa.
She's got love, love love for me - hiiyaa.
I've got love, love, love for her- Lana!

HIIYAAAAAAAAAAA

From the beginning music has prowled with accordion lessons at a young age, followed by sax, blues harp and more recently piano, vocals, song writing and recording.  Thomas Patton (AKA TomCattt) credits his mother for his stage name "TomCattt” as she was big on nick names for those she held close to her heart. TomCattt's music is best described as easy listening and sometimes retro, yet with a contemporary mix and feel. Accompanied by the creative tracks of a number of gifted musicians, his first album Hiiyaaaaaaaaaaa inspires imagination and finds a way to impress with a unique vocal sound, compelling harmony and gripping melody. The lyrical content is in fact a living reflection of this artists emotional journey that followed leaving love, finding a new love only to lose love once again.  Hiiyaaaaaaaaaaa was released on June 1st, 2013 and all are invited to Soundcloud, Bandcamp, ReverbNation and Cdbaby where "A Question" is free download and to enjoy TomCattt's website tomcattt.com.

Since June of 2013, TomCattt has enjoyed considerable success on Youtube and Vevo with his very popular video's "The Hurt", "Yes Love (Official)", "Im So Slow", "New Love" Cruise (all original soundtracks from Hiiyaaaaaaaaaaa) and from his current album "Sinophilia": "Not Your Toy", "Trust Not (Lyric Video)"; "Shapeshifter (Official)" and "You Know (Official)".    

In 2020, TomCattt released 5 music video's as fundraisers for the Canadian and American Red Cross to help fight COVID – 19; specifically, "I Want to Wash Your Hands 4K"; "Virus Fighting Nation 2.7K": "A Yes Love Birthday Wish to Jessica From Joe"; "I Was So Blind 4K by TomCattt, Brother Daniel, Big D and Kent Dale" and "Holiday by Kimbalyn Babylove 4K".  On March 3, 2020 The Tonight Show featured TomCattt's popular song "Yes Love":

Released on Aug 2, 2021 TomCattt's single release "Try This" (Album: “Cattt Man Do”), seeks that final confrontation necessary to overcome and free oneself of unreciprocated love.  A divergence in style from the past, “Try This” blends driving bass laced with smooth guitar licks, keys and horns that sets the stage for a nasty jazzy vibe.  TomCattt's 2nd single release "Lucky Man" could very well be the wedding song of the decade! It's one hundred beats per minute of the best man wishing the bride and groom a life graced with the presence of ever lasting love.  On November 19, 2021, TomCattt released his 3rd single "New Love (Remix)" – a chill and lazy country blues that takes you on a quest for a new love.
